What is well kill operation?
(OP)
Hi guys,
The platform that we are currently working on has 6 slots of wellhead. 5 for the well fluids and the remaining one is for the well kill operations.
What is it (well kill operations)? and how does it works?

RE: What is well kill operation?
You add a fluid/mud down the well. The desity of the fluid has been adjusted in advance so that the weight of the liquid collumn outbalance the pressure down hole.
I dont know if plugging the well with concrete or whatever is a part of it too.
If you work on a platform why dont you just ask around?

Thanks for the info. Actually I am not working on the platform. We are engaged in a platform design project at this moment of time. So this is my very first time to encounter such term.
TQ.

Anyway my description is correct in general terms. Im not very much aware of how its done with regards to operation details such as how to adjust the desity of the mud - but i think adding barium in varying amounths is used.
